Playfield Partners is a first-of-its-kind firm at the intersection of finance, sports, and mission-driven work. We're building the team that will define what investment banking looks like in the youth and team sports industry for decades to come.
Technical skills can be taught. Character, drive, and genuine love for the game can't. If you competed at any level and still care about what youth sports means to young people, you're the kind of person we're looking for.
You hold yourself to an unusually high bar — in your work, your thinking, and how you show up. You're not satisfied with good enough, and you notice when something could be better.
You competed as an athlete — at any level. You know what it takes to prepare, perform, and improve. That experience shapes how you approach work in ways that are immediately apparent.
You take initiative, think independently, and don't wait to be told what to do. At an early-stage firm, everyone wears multiple hats and gets things done.
Numbers come naturally to you and you're comfortable building a case from data. You don't need to know investment banking — but you need to be able to learn it quickly.
We don't hire for seats — we hire for talent. If you're exceptional and aligned with our mission, we want to hear from you, whether or not there's a posted opening that matches you perfectly.
